6 Claims. (Cl. 2--48) This invention relates to a garment of very simple construction that can be produced very quickly, inexpensively and adapted to be put to numerous useful as well as decorative purposes.

The Simplicity of constructon of this novel garment makes it very useful and is very easy and economical to manutacture and therefiore can serve the masses because it can be acquired reasonably and yet worn in many different ways, on various parts of the body, while engaging in different tasks, on different occasions.

Teen-agers and children will find my garment indispensable, particularly at campng to wear as a sun suit or as a babushka or neck scarf etc. Adults will find it useful in traveling when a. quick change" is needed and especially for those air-minded travelers who must curtail luggage.

lt will therefore be observed that my garment is so constructed :to make it useful and in appearance, reuder it attractive exposing back, shoulders and arms in brassierelike fashion, to sunlight and air, with geometric symmetry and which is gentle to the natural undulations of the figure, even when worn over a blouse or dress for warmth or decoration.

3 opposite end of cut.

4 shows line which may or may not be detached.

5 indicates line for severing to make triangle, leaving opposite side plain on which the process may be repeated to make another garment by repeating the cutting of the neckline.

The collar encircling the neck being of a strap efl`ect, squarish or roundish lies flat and hugs the neck and exposes the back and shoulders and chest and is therefore useful as a sun suit and when worn under a sweater or jacket in place of a blouse is not bulky and gives wearer a comfortable feeling and attractive slim look, important to a woman's appearance.

It will be observed that my garment is so constructed as to render it useful in many ways and in appearance give a figure a slim and attractive appearance, rendering it appropriate for beach wear, for a swim, or to lounge around when one wishes to expose the skin to the sun and air for health or to acquire a tanned skin.

In the Winter it may be worn over a dress as a sort of chest protector adding warmth to the body especially when made of wool tricot or other warm materials. It can also be worn over a blouse or dress for decorative effect when garment is made of some glamorous material.

The garment may also be worn to give an apron efiect over a dress when one engages in household tasks and it does not obstruct an attratcive blouse or dress one may be wearing, but merely covers the parts that may get soiled while engaging in such tasks. The simple connited States Patent O M Fatented Feb. 26, 1957 struction of the apron-like etfeet on the figure, gives wearer an attractive slim look which women desire. An old dress of simple construction may be glamorized and enhanced When materials used in making my garment are decorative fabrics.

In its simplest form my garment may be worn as a babushka over the head as a sash about the waist, as an ascot about the neck etc, The triangle form allows air to get to the hair through the slits of the apex of one of the corners, and the pony tail may be put through the opening, when worn by children and teen-agers.

The garment will serve children@ needs as well as teenagers and adults made 'according 'to their dimensions, but no exact size is necessary.

The finishing of the garment about the edges and slits may be done in a number of ways, hand rolled, binded, hemstitched, fringed, etc.

The slits around the edge of one of the apexes to form the neck band create a collar efect and yelds a detachable piece which may be severed or left attached as one may desire The contour of the garment and neck line may be round or of a square eitect.

When suitable plastic sheet, polyethylene, and other material involving no threads are used for the garment, the corners should be cut round instead of square at the chest and back of the neck and the foldable piece removed will then result in a rounded neck appearance instead of square and if left with a raw edge, which is nonraveling in such naterials to avoid expense, it will be less likely to tear and wear satisfactorily.

The same cut may be applied to .materials involving thread texture when desired to give the neckline a round look instead of a square look.
